Anthony Anderson says Marcus Scribner is now married, revealing at The Peabody Awards on May 31 that the former Black-ish star tied the knot two weeks earlier. Anderson said he was not able to make the wedding, even though a few of their old castmates were there to celebrate with Scribner.
The timing answers a question fans had been circling since March, when Scribner confirmed on Sherri that he was engaged to be married sometime this year and said he was keeping the plans low-key. At the time, the 26-year-old also said the ceremony would be child-free except for his little brother, who would serve as ring bearer, a detail that made the wedding feel intentionally private even before it happened.
Anderson, 55, was the one who connected the dots publicly on Saturday, and he did it while talking about the cast bond that outlasted the sitcom. He said he started a family thread to keep in touch with his Black-ish castmates, adding that they spent eight seasons together from 2014 to 2022 and remain close enough to keep checking in on one another. “We do keep in touch... We’re a family,” he said, describing a group that stayed connected long after the cameras stopped rolling.
That closeness makes his absence from the wedding notable. Anderson said he could not get there, but some of the cast did, a small reminder that the show’s family dynamic has survived into real life even as the actors have moved on to separate projects. Scribner, for his part, had already signaled that he wanted the event to stay quiet, so the first public confirmation of the marriage came not from a wedding post or a formal announcement, but from a former TV father relaying it at a separate industry event.
The remaining unanswered detail is the one Scribner has kept closest: who he married. For now, Anderson’s remarks settle the date and the fact of the wedding, but not the identity of Scribner’s spouse, leaving the next public reveal in the actor’s hands.
